Flash Fiction Challenge

From the flash fiction challenge at Terrible Minds. This weeks challenge was to use 3 of the following 5 words in a story of 100 words. Enzyme, Ivy, Bishop, Blister, and Lollipop.

And here we go....

Bishop leaned on his desk, unwrapped the lollipop he'd taken from his son's Halloween candy. Rolling the candy around his mouth he picked up his pencil and went back to the statements he was working on. From the page to the monitor and back he worked, looking for a place to make $50,000 disappear. He felt a sore rising on his cheek. blisters forming on his fingers where they had touched the candy. His lips, hot and swollen. His throat closing. He got up, stumbled to the mirror. His last thought; wonderment at how Bernard had found out.

Thanks Chuck, that was fun.

I wanted to give a quick shout out to my cousin-in-law Darnell on getting his Handling Screwdrivers post picked up by the Lee Valley Tools website. You can check out his article here. For more from Darnell, check out his blog http://thewayiwood.blogspot.com/. Really fantastic stuff.

Once again, Congratulations Darnell!!
